The ability of performance technology to keep pace with the growing complexity of parallel and distributed systems depends on robust performance frameworks that can at once provid...
This paper presents a formal language for the design of component-based enterprise system. The language (StAC) allows the usual parallel and sequential behaviours, but most signifi...
Bounded model checking has been recently introduced as an efficient verification method for reactive systems. In this work we apply bounded model checking to asynchronous systems....
We describe the design of VIP, a graphical front-end to the model checker SPIN. VIP supports a visual formalism, called v-Promela that connects the model checker to modern hierarc...
In a spoken dialog system, determining which action a machine should take in a given situation is a difficult problem because automatic speech recognition is unreliable and hence ...
